Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said executives of the new Bangsamoro government must learn fiscal management, financial planning and budget-related matters to ensure the long-term fiscal stability of the autonomous region in Mindanao.
Dominguez over the weekend directed key DoF officials led by Undersecretary Gil Beltran to guide executives of the new Bangsamoro government in running their finance and budget departments, as well as in crafting sound policies and implementing effective revenue-generating measures.
Dominguez also asked Beltran to tap the Philippine Tax Academy to help educate the new set of government officials of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao on fiscal management, financial planning and budget-related matters.
Dominguez told Beltran to form a technical working group together with the Department of Budget and Management, Bureau of Customs, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Local Government Finance of the DoF, and the Commission on Audit in assisting the Bangsamoro government to run its finance and budget departments.
